Counterfeit Seeedstudio DSO Nano V3?

Post by frizz »

There is a well-known vendor in the maker/DIY community (it even carries Adafruit products) which I am concerned may be unknowingly selling a counterfeit. Most reputable stores have it for $90 to $110 -- $100 on this site: https://www.adafruit.com/products/468

Finding it for $61.49 just seems Too Good To Be True.

I know that this is open source hardware, but the pics have Seeed Studio.

Allegations should not be made without proof.

Please learn the meaning of the word "allegation". I have not made one.

Regardless, I have not mentioned the name of the site which is selling the very cheap 'scope, nor am I making the slightest accusation of dishonesty.

Given the fact that the item is 30% lower than anywhere else, I am asking a reasonable question.

Allegations should not be made without proof.

Didn't say you did. If you think someone is making a seeed product knockoff you should let them know directly.

You said exactly that. Don't be disingenuous.

You do things your way, and I'll do things my way.
